    Introduction This analysis evaluates a finite element study focused on assessing corneal cross-linking (CXL) through the application of Stress–Strain Index (SSI) maps. Corneal cross-linking is a therapeutic procedure aimed at strengthening the cornea, often employed to treat conditions like keratoconus. The study, published in the Journal of The Royal Society Interface, Volume 22, Issue 229,…
